Bliss - A poem

-

 



Tonight is littered with several camera flashes in the balcony under a glowing moon
Your favourite chips are on the table, the girls are huddled in the bathroom
I’ll sip coffee in the snow globe mug, I’ll get you ice for your coke
Laughs will bubble, girls will giggle
Tired eyes, but somehow we’ll stay afloat

Sway in sync with this beat, go around the circle, what do you want to eat?
Swap heels with me, dance your way through this entire playlist
Dinner at midnight under the warmth of fireflies in the park, bumbling under summer mist
Animal patterned shirt, frilly floral skirt
Face glistens with sweat, but the night isn’t over yet

Make the music louder, remember the choreography
Whip out the white board and Pictionary cards, just be careful while playing darts
Down ten chicken wings and spend the entire night dancing
Hugs at the door, cards splayed out on top of the rug on the floor
Shiny hair, summer skin
Tell us where you’ve been

Fill my mug with cola, she brought cookies and he brought chips with fish
Oh my god it’s so hot and you say “go stand in front of the fridge”
Sit around the coffee table, glide ice cubes over your cheeks
Don’t scream when the door creaks
Sway and jump till your legs feel weak

Green flowy dress, headbands and gems
Clock ticks, card tricks, bowls stacked in a mess
Legs throb, a sweet kind of soreness because you know it came from dancing till dawn
Dew drops dot grass on the lawn, awake to see you up with a gentle yawn

WHAT IF - By Shreya - Guest writer for April 🦋

 WHAT IF You only know you've been high when you're feeling low, so naturally the opposite applies too. At some point in time you learn to suppress your stress and tell yourself you're fine, that everything is okay. This facade that you put up for yourself hides the fear within. The fear of expectations, disappointment, guilt and regret.   But one day it will all go away, and you will learn to truly enjoy yourself. And when that day comes, someone will be there.   Everytime you take a break, someone will be there waiting to remind you that life is a horse race. That you are the poor horse, the reigns of your life in the voices around you, telling you what to do and what not to. The only reason you carry the weight of these voices and run is to satisfy societal expectations, to be a winning horse, to prove that you are worth something. But why? Why must we run for these voices, these expectations, these people who place bets on wether we win or not all for their own gain? ...

How long can denim hold up? - A Poem

What’s it gonna be today? Dead silence I read too far into Or the usual make-me-smile ‘hey’ You’re my best friend But am I yours? Between us, Your moods change like trends And I pretend to be the timeless blue denim that keeps shining and smiling Say I’m going crazy But I only have you. On your side, I’m probably your backup at the end of a mile long queue Say that was dramatic Say it was needy I’m the gift that keeps on giving and for once, I want you to be greedy This feeling is new Is it loneliness? I spent the whole day today Finding things to do
